nvidia-vaapi-driver question for the System76 team
For anyone wondering, I got hardware acceleration working (NVIDIA 1660 Super: h264, vp8, vp9, don't know why I can't get HEVC support currently) using the nvidia-driver-545 using the steps from nvidia-vaapi-driver to build from source (version: 0.0.11)
- nvidia-vaapi-driver v0.0.11 released

Windows 11 has made the “clean Windows install” an oxymoron
I don't think it's your fault and I don't think you're using the wrong browser.
> I should be working out the dependency story and compiling some driver from Github myself.
no, nvidia _should_ make it easier for people using the 3rd most popular desktop OS to use their hardware. It would make them more competitive against AMD and Intel, which both support hardware video decoding.
That's probably not going to happen, so the next best option is to install a package from the package manager [0]. There might be some kind of compilation needed, but in my experience that's rarely an issue (aside from time), especially if it's coming out of the package manager for a popular distribution.
> It's just not a real option for maybe 99% of PC users.
well, 99% of PC users with Nvidia hardware. It's an important distinction since this problem is specific to Nvidia. If the solution is to installing a package from the package manager, it's only as difficult as installing the browser in the first place.
I do agree there's some extra questions that may make things difficult, or unfamiliar for the vast majority of people, though. Like how is someone supposed to know they need the nvidia-vaapi-driver package anyway?

Ubuntu is slower than windows and it is really hard to use hardware acceleration
to be honest, pop os solved most of my problems except the hardware acceleration problem which seems like an issue with Nvidia. I am planning to try this soon. https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi-driver/ as mentioned in the comments

Harwdware decoding is broken with latest Nvidia proprietary drivers (v535)
RpmFusion only has v0.0.9 of nvidia-vaapi-driver although release v0.0.10 adds support for Nvidia drivers v535. https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi-driver/releases/tag/v0.0.10

DEAR UBUNTU…
I do have one machine with the Firefox PPA rather than the snap, and that's because I've got an NVIDIA card in it and want to use an experimental library.
-
Video playback lagging in everything but VLC
Note that as an nvidia gpu owner you need to do some extra backflips to make firefox use hardware decoding such as installing a custom vaapi-to-nvdec translation driver: https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi-driver

Friend: What do I need to know if I want to try Linux? Me:
General VDPAU vs VA-API video acceleration pains. Needing a community driver for imperfect VA-API support, that nvidia updates have broken multiple times.

Snaps. Why? Please Stop
Oh don't get me started on that. I use Firefox on a work machine and I spent a number of hours troubleshooting why it couldn't access the Internet when I was connected on VPN.
I suspected it had something to do with snapd, so I downloaded the .tar.gz release of Firefox and it worked. I kept investigating and figured it must have something to do with snap.firefox.firefox apparmor profile because the VPN client was symlinking the /etc/resolv.conf to /opt/.../resolv.conf
However, updating the apparmor profile didn't help so I ultimately realized that snap has a hardcoded list of mounts that it mounts into the app container [1] and there's no way to change this.
There are a number of reasons to hate on snapd, but this almost made me flip the table.

Issues with apparmor & snapd
So there's a PR opened to fix this here: https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/12845

DEAR UBUNTU…
Of course, nothing's stopping anyone from contributing more complete selinux support. Looks like they take external pull requests in a pretty straightforward manner.

Why I like using Snaps
the system is actually open https://github.com/snapcore/snapd, its just the url they use is their own
- I am installing Ubuntu
- Firefox Cannot Open Zoom Links
-
Annoying message keep appearing can't fix by apt update and apt upgrade.
That's not true. The git is here.

How is this "for humans" in any reasonable universe? The firefox Snap mess should have a better solution.
thanks for that. Following your link I arrived at https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/12495 which covers the code. 22 commits, 19 files touched, this was a big job which indicates a little bit of a design miss, it will be very good to have this. It's the last remaining piece of "firefox snap sucks" I think.
